Course Summary – Agile and Scrum Training for Teams

The Agile and Scrum Training for Teams Course is a hands-on agile training workshop designed to be delivered to entire Scrum Teams at once. This includes the three Scrum Roles: the cross-functional Development Team, the Product Owner and the Scrum Master.

The benefits of this approach is that it accelerates team development, the team benefits by using their actual sprint work in the course exercises, and the team can share their specific challenges and make decisions on improvements.
